A blessed trident moulded by cleansing flame, with three points symbolising the combined might of the three holy gods. It is a favoured weapon of the Shining One's servants.

Trishulas are a blessed weapon, slightly stronger than the demon trident it was formed from. Like eudemon blades and sacred scourges, it always has the holy wrath brand.

You can create a trishula through the Shining One's 6* ability. You can turn a trishula back into a demon trident by using Kikubaaqudgha's or Lugonu's final ability to replace its brand with pain or distortion, though this is rarely a good trade.

Unlike other blessed weapons, you can't find trishulas on angels or daevas, although Mennas may spawn with one. Trishulas are the only blessed weapon can spawn as a randart, but only if the unrand Condemnation fails to spawn.

Trivia

A trishula is a stylized trident which is often seen as a Hindu or Buddhist religious symbol. Its exact symbolism varies from story to story, but it repeatedly sees use as a divine weapon wielded by numerous gods.

History

• In 0.29, the Condemnation unrandart was introduced. This allowed randart trishulas to (very rarely) appear randomly as a fallback for it.
• Prior to 0.10, these had 14 base damage but lacked reaching.
